White Light's equipment could be found on the stands of A.C. Lighting, Andolite, the Association of Lighting Designers, Apollo Design, Bytecraft, City Theatrical, Flashlight, Hall Stage, Le Maitre, MA Lighting, Meyer Sound, Robe Show Lighting, Scene Change, Steeldeck, Triple E/Rosebrand and XTBA. British Harlequin, DHA, ETC, Rosco, Stage Technologies, Strand Lighting and Zero88 used White Light's equipment, and also used the services of the White Light Events crew led by production manger Jon Coventry to install their lighting.
ETC's Fred Foster commented: "ETC was extremely pleased with the service that the White Light Events team provided us with on the fit-up for the PLASA Show. We were setting up the most elaborate stand we have ever done; they made certain that the electrics presented no worries for us at all."
At the same time, White Light was setting up its own stand which included products from Robert Juliat, Look Solutions, Rainbow and ELC, as well as the new DMX-controlled version of White Light's popular VSFX optical effect system, and the Digital Festoon System, which won a PLASA Award for Innovation at the show.
Meanwhile, back at White Light's Wimbledon base, staff continued to work during the show preparing the equipment for new productions including Cloaca, the opening show of the new Kevin Spacey-led season at the Old Vic, for which Mark Henderson is lighting designer, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, lit by Chris Davey, Festen, lit by Jean Kalman and the new London production of The Producers, soon to open at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, with lighting by Peter Kaczorowski.
